Objective To measure the expression of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase(IDO)in condy-loma acuminatum (CA) lesions, and to evaluate its ability to locally metabolize tryptophan. Methods Immunohistochemical study was performed to observe the protein expression of IDO in skin lesions of patients with CA, and count the number of IDO-positive cells. Immunofluorescence assay was conducted to estimate the relationship between IDO-positive cells and dendritic cells. Epidermal cells and keratinocytes were isolated from warts of 30 patients with CA and prepuces of 11 healthy controls respectively, and both in vitro incubated with tryptophan solution for 4 hours. Then, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)was performed to detect the level of tryptophan metabolite, kynurenine, in the culture supernatant of the above cells, which could reflect the ability of epidermal cells to metabolize tryptophan. Results Rare IDO-positive cells were found in the normal skin, but a lot of IDO-positive cells gathered in the epidermis of the wart tissues. The IDO-positive cell/total cell ratio was significantly higher in the wart tissues than in the normal skin(48.3%± 15.4%vs. 5.2%± 2.4%, P<0.05). The fluorescence signals of IDO-positive cells and CD1a-positive Langerhans cells were not overlapped with each other, suggesting that IDO-positive cells were derived from epidermal cells of the wart tissues. Compared with the keratinocytes from the healthy skin, the epidermal cells from warts had a stronger ability to metabolize tryptophan in vitro. Conclusion A large number of IDO-positive cells exist in CA warts, and may be involved in occurrence of CA.

Objective: To observe the activation of microglia and the changing rule of inflammatory cytokine as IL-6, IL-10 and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in experimental rabbits after spinal cord ischemia reperfusion (SCIR) injury in order to provide theoretical basis for post-conditioning time. Methods: Rabbit SCIR injury model was established by thoracic aorta balloon occlusion. 54 New Zealand male adult white rabbits were divided into 9 groups: Sham group (the animals received balloon implantation without occlusion), SCIR-0h group (reperfusion was conducted at 0 hour of spinal cord ischemia), SCIR-1h, -2h, -3h, -8h, -24h,-48h and -72h groups. n=6 in each group. The number of normal and apoptosis neurons, the levels of Iba-1, IL-6, IL-10 and NF-κB in spinal tissue were examined and compared among different groups respectively. Results: The number of normal neuron was decreasing with the extended reperfusion time, TUNEL-positive neuron began to increasing in SCIR-8h group and the peak was reached in SCIR-24h group. The expression of Iba-1 began to elevating in SCIR-2h group and the peak was obtained in SCIR-8h group; NF-κB began to rising in SCIR-3h group and the peak was observed in SCIR-8h group; both IL-6 and IL-10 arrived the peak in SCIR-24h group. The expressions of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were positively related to Iba-1 level. Conclusion: Microglia activation had dynamic changes in experimental SCIR rabbits and the expression levels of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were positively to microglia activation; post-conditioning time at front and back to microglia activation may reduce neuron injury.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane tamponade combined with air filling for giant macular hole (MH).Methods:A prospective case-control study. From January 2019 to February 2021, 56 patients (56 eyes) diagnosed with giant MH from Eye Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled. Among them, there were 17 males with 17 eyes and 39 females with 39 eyes. The average age of the patients was 64.23±9.30 years old. The average MH minimum diameter was 827.36±83.16 μm. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) examination were performed before surgery. The Chinese version of 25-item National Eye Institute visual functioning questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) was used to investigate patient's visual-related quality of life. There were 28 eyes of 28 cases receiving PRF membrane covering, as PRF group, another 28 eyes of 28 cases receiving inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion into giant MH, as ILM group. The differences of the age ( t=-1.588), sex ratio ( χ2=0.760), BCVA ( Z=-0.400), macular hole minimum diameter ( t=-0.604), choriocapillary blood flow area (CBFA) ( t=1.331) and NEI VFQ-25 score ( t=0.921) were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). All eyes underwent 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy. In the PRF group, PRF membrane was used to fill the hole, and in the ILM group, the hole was filled with ILM inversion, and filled with sterile air after full gas-liquid exchange. The follow-up time after surgery was ≥6 months. The same equipment and methods as before surgery were used to conduct related examinations, and the changes of BCVA, the shape of hole closure, CBFA and the improvement of vision-related quality of life were compared between the two groups. For comparison between groups, independent samples t-test was used for data with normal distribution, and Mann-Whitney U test was used for data with non-normal distribution. For intra-group comparisons, paired-samples t-test was used for data with normal distribution, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for non-normally distributed data. Results:Six months after surgery, in the eyes of PRF group and ILM group, the hole of 27 (96.4%, 27/28) and 26 (92.6%, 26/28) eyes were closed; the median BCVA was 0.70 and 0.70, respectively; CBFA were 1.99±0.20 and 1.91±0.18 mm 2; NEI VFQ-25 scores were 81.36±12.39 and 78.39±10.12, respectively. Compared with before surgery, the BCVA ( Z=-4.636,-4.550) and CBFA ( t=-27.115,-31.135) of the affected eyes in the PRF group and ILM group were significantly improved after surgery, and the NEI VFQ-25 scores ( t=-15.557, -10.675) was significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BCVA ( Z=-0.167), CBFA ( t=1.554), and NEI VFQ-25 scores ( t=0.980) between the two groups after interocular surgery ( P=0.726, 0.126, 0.331). Conclusion:PRF membrane insertion with air filling has the same efficacy as ILM insertion in the treatment of giant MH, which can improve the closure rate of MH, patients' vision and vision-related quality of life, and increase choroidal blood perfusion.

Objective:To observe and explore the feasibility and effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane packing and air filling in the treatment of refractory macular holes.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2019 to January 2020, 17 patients with refractory macular hole (17 eyes) who diagnosed in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were included in the study. Among them, there were 7 males (7 eyes) and 10 females (10 eyes), with the age of 55.18±7.91 years. All eyes underwent 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane stripping and PRF packing, and air filling was performed at the end of the operation. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography angiography were performed in all eyes before surgery and at 1 week and 1, 3 months after surgery. The BCVA examination was performed using a international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity during statistics. Taking 3 months after surgery was as the time point to judge the efficacy, the changes of BCVA, superficial retinal vascular density (SVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and central foveal thickness (CFT) before and after surgery were compared. Paired t-test was used to compare the indicators before and after surgery. Results:Among the 17 eyes, there were 6, 7, and 4 eyes with giant macular hole, high myopia macular hole, and recurrent macular hole, respectively; the hole diameter was 723.94±38.30 μm. Three months after surgery, all holes were closed. Compared with before surgery, the BCVA ( t=4.458) and SVD ( t=2.675) increased, and the CFT ( t=6.329) and FAZ area ( t=4.258) decreased at 3 months after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no complications such as intraocular hypertension and retinal detachment in all eyes. Conclusion:Minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane stripping and PRF tamponade in the treatment of refractory macular holes can increase the closure rate, improve visual acuity and retinal blood perfusion.

Objective:To explore the effects of human-derived fibrin glue on prevention of postoperative complications of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in early esophageal squamous cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods:A total of 210 patients with early esophageal squamous cancer or precancerous lesions who underwent ESD at Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from April 2017 to April 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Seventy-three cases (79 esophageal lesions) where human-derived fibrin glue was used before retrieving endoscope were included in the observation group, while 137 cases (156 esophageal lesions) where fibrin glue was not used were included in the control group. The postoperative complications and pain were compared between the two groups.Results:Clinical data including general information, longitudinal length, Paris type, pathological type, invasion depth, circumferential range, area of resection, duration of operation and local steroid used were similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of perforation, delayed bleeding and esophageal stenosis in the observation group were 2.7% (2/73), 1.4% (1/73), and 16.4% (12/73), respectively, and were 2.9% (4/137), 1.5% (2/137), and 13.1% (18/137), respectively in the control group. There were no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative pain in the observation group was 53.4% (39/73), which was significantly lower than that in the control group of 70.8% (97/137) ( χ2=6.302, P=0.012). The incidences of mild, moderate and severe pain in observation group on the day of ESD were 9.6% (7/73), 6.8% (5/73) and 5.5% (4/73), respectively, and 27.0% (37/137, χ2=8.724, P=0.003), 17.5% (24/137, χ2=4.554, P=0.033) and 0.7% (1/137, χ2=2.805, P=0.094), respectively in the control group. The incidences of mild, moderate and severe pain in the observation group on the first day after the operation were 26.0% (19/73), 5.5% (4/73) and 6.8% (5/73), respectively, and 29.2% (40/137, χ2=0.237, P=0.626), 14.6% (20/137, χ2=3.912, P=0.048) and 4.4% (6/137, χ2=0.193, P=0.660), respectively in the control group. The corresponding incidences on the second day after the operation were 5.5% (4/73), 0 and 1.4% (1/73) in the observation group and 19.0% (26/137, χ2=7.087, P=0.008), 2.9% (4/137) and 0 in the control group, respectively. Conclusion:Human-derived fibrin glue shows no obvious preventive effect on post-ESD bleeding, perforation or stenosis in early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions. However, it can significantly reduce the incidence of ESD-related postoperative pain, especially the incidences of mild and moderate pain.
